Hampton Roads, Va.-based Sentara Health is shifting to a new market-based operating model for its 12 hospitals.
Eric Conley, Sentara’s executive vice president and president of acute and post-acute care, said in the May 14 release that the new structure allows the system to tailor operations to meet individual community needs, “while still benefiting from the consistency and coordination of market-based leadership.”
